I very strongly agree with you. Every time I follow a little one's case, it seems to always end in a LESS severe sentence than that of an adult. I just don't understand why. Children are our most valuable resource; why don't the courts get that?!

The Cook County State's Attorney has charged Nour S. Hadid, 26, with the first degree murder of her niece, 2-year-old Bhia Hadid. State's attorney spokewoman Tandra Simonton said that Nour was scheduled to appear in bond court Tuesday morning. Nour was denied bond Tuesday afternoon.

Orland Park Police Chief Tim McCarthy, who is also head of the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force which assisted in the investigation, said that the fire district responded to a call that a child had reportedly fallen and was unresponsive.

"Upon arrival, the firefighters and paramedics found the unresponsive 2-year-old female in a bedroom," he said. "They discovered severe bruising over much of the child's body and brought this to the attention of the police officers."

Orland Park police detectives say the 26-year-old Muslim woman was treated as any other suspect in a murder probe would be, and they did not intend to humiliate her when they photographed her Sunday without her headscarf and wearing only a skimpy top.

Nour Hadid is accused of beating her 2-year-old niece Bhia Hadid to death over four days at her home on the 9000 block of West 140th Street. The child had 55 separate bruises and was beaten "from head to toe," according to prosecutors, who say Hadid confessed.

But Alaeddin Hadid - who insists his wife is innocent - said Orland Park police are "really going to be in big trouble" for releasing the woman's booking photo to the news media after she was charged with first-degree murder.

The Hadids are Muslims and Nour "never leaves the home without covering up," said Alaeddin, who's vowed to sue.

Ok I am sorry but this is a mug shot for murder which she admitted to doing. I just don't think the husband should be so concerned about if he is going to sue the police. He should worry about why his wife killed a child.

I understand in America we have religious freedom and I LOVE that, however I think this is a bit over the top. Why is he not concerned that a child's life is now gone at her hands. Why does it matter if she is covered up? It may be against their religion, however isn't killing someone?

These people (and I use the term loosely) live about a mile from my house. The whole situation just sickens me. This husband's priorities tell me there was something definitely wrong in that household and it was more than just his wife.

snipped and bolded:

So what's up with that? If you are supposed to be completely covered, why a skimpy top? The people of the Muslim faith I am friendly with would never be in a skimpy top even under a burka.
